LIE Practicien: From the chem
ical point of view, man is composed
Of thirteen elements, of which five
are gases and eight are solids. If
we consider the chemical compost
ton Of man OF the average weight
of 1874 pounds, we will find that he
is composed in large part Of oxy-
gen, which is in o state of extreme
compression. IL fact, man weigh
ing 154 pounds, contains ninety
seven pounds of oxygen, the volume
of which, at ordinary temperature,
would exceed $50 cubic feet. The
hydrogen Is much in quantity,
there being less than fifteen pounds
but which, in free state, would oc.
cup q volume of $500 cubic feet
The three other gases are nitrogen,
nearly four pounds; chloride, about
twenty-six ounces, the fourine,
three and quarter ounces. Of the
solids, carbon stands at the head OF
the metalfoids, there being forty
eight pounds, Next comes pnos
phorus, twenty-six ounces, and sui
phur three and quarter onnces
The most abundant metal is cal
cium, more than three pounds; mex
potassium, two and halt ounces
sodium, two and quarter ounces
and lastly iron, one and quarter
ounces. It is needless to say that
the varions combinations made by
these thirteen elements are almost
inDumerable.

Putting on Style,

In many localities kind of ma
nia-I know of no better name
seems to attack all classes TO put
on style, and the consequence is
that many laboring men find them
selves trying desperately hard to
dress as well as their neighbors.
Some take q sensible view Of the
matter and conclude that it is best
not to try, and in consequence get
along without any trouble, while
others make the attempt only in
the end to find themselves hopeless
ly behind and with the satisfaction
of knowing that they have failed
and that everybody else knows the
same fact.
There is certainly nothing to be
gained by such an attempt. AS a
rule, in small localities and even in
what we may term fair sized towns,
your friends and acquaintance will
fully understand your circumstances
whether you do or not, and outsid-
ers usually pay but very little at
tention to the matter.
| Sometimes the wife is to blame.
She can see no reason why her
| husband does not make as much
money as her seemingly more for
tunate neighbor, and because her
neighbour puts on a little more
style than she, an attempt is made
to outstrip her. AS the husband
sees the wife and children wearing
finer clothes than his family, and
knowing the pay he receives, and
without understanding how they
are managing or stopping to de
termine whether or not be can sf-
ford. it, he decides that his family
shall be as any one else. It is only
after a dismal failure that he real
ICES his folly. For it is certainly
folly, if nothing worse, to attempt
to 1--we and dress beyond your abili
ty to pay. You not only spend
more than you ought, but you lose
your own self respect as well as
that of your neighbors with the GER
tainty of defeat in the end, for the
end is only question of time.
There is no valid objection to
anyone buying anything they can
afford to pay fort 10 not only
necessary that you should pay for,
| but be able to pay-not be rob
bling Peter to pay Paul. But when
you are buying at some one else't
expense those people have the
right to express their opinion and
usually they are not slow to dC
this. And where is the gain
Your friends know you cannot aforC
it while strangers do not care. Yor
may make Ga favorable impression
at first, where you are not known
but the fact will soon be known
and then you have more than los
what you might have gained. Z
few may treat you rather more re
spectfully because you put on NOR
style, but it is usually the ones tina
will be of the least benefit to you
but the great majority guage yol
by what you are rather than b.
what your wear. You can be clear
and neat, be polite and lind auC
earn the respect of those with WHOM
you come in contact much bette
than by attempting TO spread OIL

New Method Of Ensilage,

One Of our foreign exchanges
mentions new way of making en-
silage, and as all are on the alert
for all light that can be thrown on
this question, we quote:
Mr.. Robert William Waithman of
Moyne Park, Ballyglunin, County
Galway, in the columns Of the
Times describes an exceedingly
simple method of preserving grass
by the process of ensilage. The
weather during last autumn WAS
not favorable for hsymaking in the,
west of Ireland, and Mr.. Waithman
found himself with six acres OF
meadow uncut. The crop, he states,
was heavy laid and little spoiled,
and his only chance was to save it
by ensilipg. He cut the grass and
gathered it in bad weather and
built it into two round stacks, each
of which was about ! 3 feet in diam
eter. The only precautions taken
were that the grass forming the
outer edges of the stacks should be
well trampled, and that the outer
edges should be kept during tbs
erection of the stacks a little higher
than the middle of the stacks, the
| grass being merely torked into the
center without trslGpling. The
stacks were raised ten feet il
height, then allowed three days tc
heat, when the temperature Of the
stacks rose to 140 degrees Fahrer-
heit, and the mass settled down
considerably. The operation 0
building up the stacks with fresl
loads of grass after each settling
was repeated for several days, tn
thermometer still marking lao de
grees Fahrenheit. The stacks sanI
to about eight feet, when the so
for about a yard round each stacl
was thrown by the spade onto tn
stacks. The only covering TIA
stacks got was this soil, whlcl
! formed a bed of about one foot i
thickness; the stacks being exposes
to all the rain which fell duriu
the last two months. Assumin
that the grass required to form
: ton of hay would form four tons {
. sliage, Mr. Waithman estimates til
9 contents of the two stacks TO b
about 60 tons. On the Goth Of De
. cember he had about n third Ok th
. soil on one of the stacks throw
down when he found the silage !

just st this moment the United
States is exporting wheat in guam
titles seldom equaled in the past
The aggregate of wheat and OF
flour reduced to wheat sent abroad
in June was l6,l20,379 bushels
These are large figures and, if ex-
ports continue at this rate for 8
few months, will turn the balance OF
trade somewhat more handsomely
in our favor than it has been this
year thus far. The recent corner
in Chicago, by raising the price OF
that commodity relatively above
European prices, prevented, to q
large extent, the sales of our sur
plus abroad. The effect of this has
been felt with more or less severity
in the money market and in gener-
al trade.
